"Kidd Video"
to have new look for '85 fall season
The three most
popular shows on Saturday morning last TV season were "Alvin and the Chipmunks,"
"Smurfs" and a new show, "Kidd Video."
To find out more
about the show, the Mini Page talked with Hiam Saban, the creator and producer.
We asked him how
he came up with the idea.
He told us that
NBC wanted a music show for kids because videos are so popular.
"We are showing
kids what they want to see, music attached to pictures. Kids as young as 3 years
old are singing and dancing to Michael Jackson," he told us.
Each show has videos
by such stars as Stevie Wonder and Lionel Richie. Each show also
has music written especially for "Kidd Video."
The show is an
adventure about a rock group. The group's members are Steve Alterman (Ash), Robbie
Rist (Whiz), Gabriele Bennett (Carla) and Bryan Scott (Kidd).
In the show, they
are able to turn into cartoon characters and go to the "Flip Side."
In the Flip Side,
they battle the bad guys, Master Blaster and his band, the Copy Cats. The bad
guys kidnap rock stars and steal their music.
